Cron isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Cron has gone 1-for-16 with a double, a walk and seven strikeouts in his last five appearances, and he'll be out of the lineup Thursday for the second time in the last three games. Joshua Fuentes will shift to first base and bat seventh.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-2 win over Cleveland.

Goldschmidt had his first combo meal of the season Wednesday, with a home run off Trevor Stephan in the seventh inning and a stolen base in the fifth inning. The 33-year-old is slashing .251/.320/.416 with eight homers, 30 RBI, 34 runs and four steals in 256 plate appearances.

Pratto has a .320/.466/.710 slash line across 131 plate appearances with Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

The first-round pick from 2017 struggled at High-A Wilmington in 2019 with a .191/.278/.310 slash line, nine homers, 46 RBI, 48 runs scored and 17 stolen bases in 124 games. Pratto has turned it around in 2021 with 10 homers, 23 RBI, 23 runs scored and five steals in just 29 Double-A games. The strong hitting could eventually lead to a promotion to Triple-A Omaha, although that should not be considered imminent.

White (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The Mariners were hopeful that White would be able to begin a rehab assignment when the team returned from its current road trip, but he'll be able to join the Triple-A club a few days ahead of schedule. The 25-year-old has been on the injured list for nearly a month, so he could require several rehab games before he's cleared to rejoin the Mariners.

Bohm will sit Thursday against Atlanta.

Bohm has stumbled significantly in his sophomore season after a strong rookie campaign, as he's hitting just .216/.260/.305 with four homers in 59 games. The Phillies are letting him work through those struggles on the field, however, as he sits Thursday for just the fifth time all season. Luke Williams starts at third base in his absence.

Alonso went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, three total RBI and three total runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

Alonso launched his 10th homer of the season during the first inning, and his two-run blast off former Mets ace Matt Harvey set the tone for the rest of the game for New York. The slugging first baseman also extended his hitting streak to five games and has recorded back-to-back multi-hit games for the first time in 2021. He's hitting .265 with 10 home runs, 31 RBI and an. 850 OPS on the season.

The Marlins placed Cooper on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a lumbar strain, David Wilson of the Miami Herald reports.

Miami will bring up Lewin Diaz from Triple-A Jacksonville to fill Cooper's role as a reserve first baseman behind Jesus Aguilar. Cooper had been battling back stiffness heading into the weekend before joining the lineup Monday in Boston, so he may have suffered a related setback in that contest. He'll be eligible to return from the IL on June 18.

Diaz went 2-for-4 with a walk in a win over the Nationals on Tuesday.

Diaz extended his hitting streak to five games with his second multi-hit effort over the last four contests. The 29-year-old just belted his first home run of the season Monday, and he's boosted his season average 14 points to .258 during his current stretch of productive work at the plate.

Dalbec isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Dalbec will get a day off after he went 0-for-11 with a run, a walk and five strikeouts across the last three games. Danny Santana will take over at first base and lead off.

Casas went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs, a stolen base and an RBI in Double-A Portland's 9-8 win over New Hampshire on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old first baseman had been inactive for Portland for the past two weeks due to obligations for Summer Olympics qualifiers, but he was back in action Tuesday. He didn't miss a beat in his return to the lineup, extending his streak of two-hit games to four thanks to his pair of singles. He's now slashing .343/.418/.557 with four home runs and 17 RBI across 79 plate appearances for the Double-A affiliate.
